Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Yutie took a group of people out hunting. The area was very desolate and there were few people, so Zeng Wangcai was more relieved and did not give Yutie any instructions.

But there was a small accident.

Before it got dark, a bonfire was lit by the river and we were ready to start the barbecue.

Zeng Wangcai, who was preparing seasonings, heard a noise coming from the distant sentry post. He turned around and saw that Yutie and his men had returned, and they had brought back two Tibetans.

"What's going on?" Zeng Wangcai frowned, "Didn't you say to try not to have contact with Tibetans?"

After a while, Yutie brought two Tibetans over.

One of the two men was an old man wearing a worn-out round hat, with a dark face and a sad look; the other was a young girl with fine skin, but with the red color on her face that was unique to the locals.

"Captain, I didn't look for them!" Yu Tie saw Zeng Wangcai's bad face and explained quickly, "We were hunting and killed a few Tibetan antelopes. As a result, they came out from a ravine to look for me. I couldn't understand what they were saying, and it was difficult to chase them away, so I had to bring them back."

Zeng Wangcai nodded. Judging from the two men's attire, they must be poor people.

He asked the soldiers to bring two small stools for them to sit on and gave them two cups of hot tea.

"Is there anything I can help you with? Can you understand what I'm saying?" Zeng Wangcai asked with a smile.

As a result, the old man said a few words, but Zeng Wangcai couldn't understand them at all, so he had to look at the little girl.

The little girl put down her teacup and spoke some confusing words while gesticulating. Zeng Wangcai finally understood a little bit.

It turned out that they were a pair of grandparents and grandchildren. They said they knew Zeng Wangcai and their father-in-law and had something to report to them.

But Zeng Wangcai didn't understand what the report was about.

He asked: "Does anyone here speak Mandarin... Yes, Mandarin, let him come... Okay..."

No matter what they asked, the grandparents kept shaking their heads. The little girl anxiously picked up a branch and ran to the river.

Zeng Wangcai ran over and found the little girl drawing on the ground. It was a person.

"Girl, what you said... is too abstract, I don't understand..." Zeng Wangcai covered his face.

The little girl drew a circle and a few sticks. It can be seen that it is a two-legged beast, but what does the two-legged beast represent? Who can understand it?

The little girl didn't stop there after finishing the picture, she started drawing lines under the circle representing the human head.

This time Zeng Wangcai understood: "Beard? A person with a beard?"

The little girl was overjoyed and nodded vigorously.

What does a bearded man represent?

Zeng Wangcai has to guess again.

At this time, Xiaobao said: "This can't be a foreigner..."

"How is it possible? Where did that old guy come from...ah? Is it true?" Zeng Wangcai was halfway through refuting when he saw the little girl nodding frantically. She really drew a foreigner.

Zeng Wangcai became alert instantly. Foreigners, there are foreigners here. What a joke. There are not many foreigners in Beijing.

He suddenly remembered the battle that took place on this land not long ago, and the foreign devils were behind it.

"Radio, call local comrades!" Zeng Wangcai shouted, and ordered, "Order, double the number of guard posts, and the special forces squad should be ready for battle!"

"Yes!" Xiaobao took the order and left.

Zeng Wangcai asked two soldiers to take good care of the little girl and her grandfather while he went to guard the radio station.

After a while, the radio station contacted the local comrades. After hearing Zeng Wangcai's feedback and learning the location of Zeng Wangcai's troops, the local comrades said they would arrive within two hours.

Two hours passed in a flash. The soldiers had enough food and drink, and no dangerous situation occurred during that time.

It was already dark, and car lights appeared on the road not far from the military camp. The dim lights shone towards the sky for a while, then towards the ground. The uneven road caused the lights to shake violently.

A few minutes later, the convoy stopped by the side of the road.

Zeng Wangcai welcomed the brother troops - the first company of the third battalion of the 155th regiment, plus a machine gun platoon.

"Hello, Captain Zeng!" The young third battalion commander, with bright eyes in the dark, stood in front of Zeng Wangcai enthusiastically. "I am Lu Yun, the third battalion commander of the 155th regiment. This is fate. When we heard that you were coming, the regiment commander told us that if you encountered difficulties on the road, we would definitely help you."

The 155th Regiment, led by Qiao Wang, was the unit Zeng Wangcai served in after entering the Tibetan area.

Don't underestimate it just because it's a regiment, it's a field regiment.

"Hello, Captain Lu!" Zeng Wangcai saluted. "We encountered an emergency and were going to go directly to the regiment headquarters. We didn't expect to cause you trouble."

"No, there is no such thing as trouble here." Lu Yun laughed heartily, "There are only troubles here, you will know after you stay for a while."

Zeng Wangcai doesn't know much about this period of history, and there is little information on the Internet. He didn't encounter any of the situations along the way, so he has no personal experience.

If this had happened a year or two ago, it would not have been a trouble, but a baptism of blood and fire.

"Haha, we're here just for trouble." Zeng Wangcai and Lu Yun walked into the camp, saying, "The situation is like this, our comrades were visited by two locals. We don't speak the language, so we don't know much about the details, and we don't know whether it's true or not..."

After listening to Zeng Wangcai's introduction, Lu Yun nodded and waved for the soldiers in the army who could speak the local language to come over.

The soldier chatted with the grandparents and grandchildren for more than half an hour before coming back to report.

The result was beyond Zeng Wangcai's expectations. The grandparents said that a group of strangers had come to their village, and there was a foreigner hiding among them.

Lu Yun immediately reported the situation to his superiors and waited for their orders.

"Captain Zeng, this is how it is here." While waiting, Lu Yun and Zeng Wangcai talked around the campfire, "It's not like inside. The situation here is very complicated. In the past two years, the fighting almost never stopped. It's better now, but it's still not what you had before. You have to be mentally prepared.

The regiment commander said that you are here to guard the border, and the border is not stable. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a small-scale battle today. After the order from the superior comes down, your company can be responsible for the periphery..."

This is a compliment, because Zeng Wangcai's troops have never experienced actual combat. Although they are all veterans, they all came from the training ground.

To be honest, Zeng Wangcai was not really sure that everyone from the three platoons of soldiers would perform well on the battlefield, except for the special squad.

After a while, the superiors gave the order that the group of people who entered the village was suspected to be a spy code-named Kanti, whose manpower and firepower were unknown.

The superiors instructed that this armed force must be eliminated at all costs.

The battle came too suddenly. We were still on the road one moment, and the camping and actual combat arrived the next.

"Captain Lu, we will follow your orders on how to fight." Zeng Wangcai said immediately.

According to the superior's order, Zeng Wangcai's troops were temporarily under the command of the Third Battalion.

"It's not easy to fight." Lu Yun spread out the map beside the campfire and found the enemy. "According to them, the enemy should have support. We lack a mass base and it is difficult to collect intelligence. I estimate that they are most likely hiding in the tower, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack..."
